Porches

About Our Porches Service

A porch is one of the most practical additions to a Hampshire home — it shelters your front door from the prevailing weather, creates a draught lobby that makes a real difference to heat loss in winter, and adds kerb appeal visible from the street. At Glazeright, we design and install made-to-measure porches in uPVC and aluminium, in a range of roof styles including lean-to, apex, and hipped configurations. A well-designed porch also creates a useful intermediary space: somewhere to leave wet outdoor gear, a pushchair, or parcels before entering the main living area. For Victorian and Edwardian terraces — common throughout Southampton, Woolston, and Bitterne — a sympathetically designed porch in a colour and profile that suits the period can enhance the front elevation rather than compete with it. On postwar and modern properties, a contemporary lean-to porch in anthracite or white can sharpen an otherwise plain front face. Most front porches fall within permitted development and do not require planning permission, subject to size limits — we will confirm this during your free survey.
